Accountability for Equitable Outcomes in Higher Education (original) (raw)

This paper discusses the persistent inequities in higher education outcomes for African American, Hispanic, and American Indian students despite various diversity initiatives. It argues for the incorporation of rigorous accountability systems that assess educational equity by race and ethnicity. Recommendations include establishing accountability practices for data collection and reporting, and fostering a culture of inquiry among practitioners to better understand and improve the college experiences of underrepresented groups.
